Quilting by Sarah Fielke is a journey of discovery. It can be challenging to master the many different quilting techniques and this book provides an accessible way to try out new colours, textures and methods, and in the process build upon quilting skills. The ten pairs of quilts featured are designed to be like little lessons: a dolly quilt - so-named because it is small enough to cover a doll - and a larger quilt made from the techniques learned in the construction of the dolly. Discover how, from little things, big and exciting things can grow.
